While I don't want to change your opinion, people may misunderstand it if I ignore this comment. >>From day one, I've wanted to use logfs in my laptop. If it is useful for embedded devices, that is nice and may have the benefit of paying my bills. But the real price I'm after is getting rid of hard disks and have a decent filesystem on top of whatever flash I can attach to my notebook. At the moment, the flash one can sensibly attach to a notebook is an SSD with SATA interface. It has a bunch of disadvantages and there is no point in listing them all. But it is the reality and denying it doesn't change that. And this reality is the reason why logfs needs another format change and Linus doesn't want to have it merged yet. Making it perform well on SSDs comes first. :) Jörn -- Joern's library part 4: http://www.paulgraham.com/spam.html
